This is known as the AR7
It's a .22LR a friend of mine picked one up in Hyderabad two years ago.
It was originally made for US air force pilots as part of their survival Kit. when it is disassembled and packed into the stock it floats in water

I am looking for this as an integral component of my survival kit. Although survival experts recommends 10/22 as .22 survival rifle, in case of other than AR7 I would opt for Anschutz (Best .22) or CZ. I think Anschutz is better as target but CZ is more prone to abuse/rugged.

An absolute alternate of AR7 will be a Ruger Mark III. A Mark III is definitly not concealed carry weapon but in a survival situation it is accurate, one can carry it in BOB along with enough quantity of ammo, reliable, and rugged. It can serve Self Defense (placement of shots matter), small game hunting at reasonable distances (I guess it may be effective with scopes mounted at 90 meter range) and marksmanship purposes, a genuine all rounder.
